Sample ballots; revise timeframe for Secretary of State to furnish to election commissioners.
This bill requires the Mississippi Secretary of State to provide sample ballots to county election commissioners at least 60 days before an election, increasing the current requirement of 55 days. The change applies to all elections unless a primary runoff certification deadline makes the 60-day timeline impossible to meet, in which case the Secretary must publish the sample ballot as soon as practicable. The bill directly affects the Mississippi Secretary of State and county election commissioners by adjusting the timeline for distributing sample ballots to voters. This adjustment aims to give election officials more time to prepare and distribute accurate ballot samples before voting occurs.
